Dean has asked for an open appeals hearing before the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents. However, no date has been set for the hearing. "The process is to arrange a briefing schedule for the parties involved," said Judith Temby, Secretary of the UW Board of Regents, whose office is in charge of coordinating the hearings. "That is in line with the usual practice. But a date has not been set yet for the hearing." The parties that are directly involved are Dean, his attorney, Mark Nielsen, and the UW Board of Regents Person- Dennis Dean nel Matters Review Committee. UW-Parkside Chancellor Sheila Kaplan says she hopes tob e part of the proceedings also. The hearings will be open to the public if Dean requests it. Kaplan cannot definitively say why it is taking so long for the hearing to begin, but she notes that the matter is no longer in her hands. "It's off the campus," she stated.

The statement has met with disapproval from various students and staff members, including associate professor of philosophy Aaron Snyder. The first concern to be addressed regarding the statement, Snyder believes, is the necessity of such a document at all. "The presumption, I think, is that all members of the university community are adults, and OT certain libertarian priniciples...rational adults are entitled to make their own decisions about consensual relations." A second concern expressed by Snyder questions whether or not such a statement should be incorporated into the sexual harassment policy. "Consensual relations" necessarily includes the consent of both parties in- Kaplan spends day in wheelchair as part of Disability Awareness Week volved, whereas harassment is coercive, or non-consensual. Third, Snyder notes several problems with the content of the statement in general. The most important of these lies with the concept of a "definite power differential." "It's clear that certain relations are to be discouraged, but it's not clear what the boundaries are. For example, if I'm your dissertation supervisor and you and I get into a romantic or sexual relationship, that's a no-no. If you're a student registered in erne of my classes...then that's a definite no-no - and I think on that most people would agree." Is there a definite power differential between a student and professor when the two are in no way academically related, possibly even from differing departments? Snyder believes not Finally, Snyder questions the purpose of the statement in general. He states that it was Ranger News photo by Mike Paupore not made clear to him, both in the document itself and when he asked the committee, what the statement was intended to do. "If its just a statement (and not a policy)," poses Snyder, "why bother?"

The purpose of the exercise, in addition to supporting. Disability Awareness Week, was to gain a stronger understanding of the difficulties faced by disabled students at UWParkside and to draw attention to specific areas in which the university needs to improve in its accomodations for the handicapped. Kaplan believes that the experience has made her better able to empathize with disabled students and to see the problems with which they must cope. "[My experience] gave me a deeper respect for the challenges that the physically disabled students face. As a person responsible for this institution, I was made much more aware of the limitations of the buildings..it really reminds us that we need to constantly be on top of those problems, and not simply say 'Well, we'll get to it Continued on Page 2 DESIGN FOR DIVERSITY New minority students, UW-Parkside YEAR GOAL ENROLLMENT 1988-89 84 97 1989-90 91 88 1990-91 99 90 1991-92 106 109 Total undergraduate minority enrollment Minority Percent Year Enrollment V of total 1989-90...— .......328......... a. ».«*. •H..UU(.6>7% 1990-9t«« t't* 347 4 Wm. ^..7.0% 1991-92. •MrtcUW-SyM J2 THE RANGER NEWS, Page 2 In The News April 23,1992 Campus Calendar Ffiday Saturday •Play: "Comedy of Errors" 7pm in the Communication Arts Theater, Admission-$5 students, $6 guests •Film: "My Girl" 7:00pm in the Union Cinema, $1 for students, $2 for guests (Sponsored by PAB) •Play: "Comedy of Errors" 7pm in the Communication Arts Theater, Admission- $5 students, $6 guests •Film: "The Addams Family" 7pm in the Union Cinema, $1 for students, $2 for guests (PAB) •Film: "The Addams Family" 7pm in the Union Cinema, $1 for students, $2 for guests (PAB) •Gran Baile! featuringLa Experiencia. 8pm in the Union Square. $3 in advance for students, $4 in advance for guests, $5 general admission Kaplan's day with the disabled Dean asks for open Board of Regents hearing Continued from Page 1 of Regents'office since February." Kaplan notes that the Board of Regents is rather busy. "These things take time. The Board of Regents members work full-time so finding a time to schedule it is just a lot more complicated than it appears." However, the board members aren't the only ones with jobs. Dean also has professional responsibilities and would like to get on with the proceedings as soon as possible. "It's a difficult situation now because we're coming up on final exams and grading, and that's a somewhat sensitive area as I'm sure they (Temby's office) are aware." However, Dean doubts thatth e hearing will occur anytime soon. "I don't see that it would be very likely at all that it would ktae place before the end of the semester." Dean is rater displeased with the rate at which matters are moving. "They (the Board of Regents) are going fairly slowly on this matter, and some of the obvious excuses such as the fact Chancellor Kaplan was applying for that joba t San Jose no longer apply." Kaplan had been considering taking the position of president at San Jose State University in California in March. Asked why the proceedings are taking so long, Dean simply said, "I wouldn't want to second guess the Regents." Temby noted that more information on the hearings may be available within the nexttwo weeks. The UW-Parkside Campus Rights and Responsibilities Committee in December made a recommendation to Kaplan that Dean be suspended for a year without pay, stripped of his tenure and forced to receive counseling that would be monitored by the campus' sexual harassment committee. The recommendation came after the Rights and Responsibilities Committee's November hearing at which Dean and his four The case at that point went to Temby and the Board of Regents. Dean vehemently denies that he is guilty of any sexual harassment and feels that he is being harassed by Kaplan's administration as a result of criticisms he has made of her in the past. Continued from Page 1 tomorrow.'" The university has made strong positive steps in die last several years in accomodating handicapped students (including restrooms, automatic doors and drinking fountains, and lifts in Main Place). "But," states Kaplan, "there is still a great deal more to be done." "We are aware of things that need to be done, and we're working on them. Parking is a problem for us, in that we don't have enough handicapped parking spaces (additional spaces will be added this summer)...Theelevators have been a frustration for all of us." (Attempts at upgrading the current elevator systems have been hampered by state budgeting officials) "Unfortunately, there are things we can do nothing about - the inclines on the bridges between the buildings, the lifts in Main Place - they work, but they're a little scary. The problems with the elevators, the library stacks..." "Werealize that there isaproblem, but making them more accessible to the disabled would require such major reconstruction that it would be simply cost prohibitive." (Library staff are, however, willing to find whatever resource is needed upon request) UW-Parkside's administration is not alone in its attempt to better accomodate handicapped students, however. "We have a 504 Committee chaired by Carol Cashen, with several students and staff members from the university, including Gary Nephew and Sandra Riese, that has been looking for problem areas on campus. "Every time they find a specific problem that we can deal with, we assign someone to fix it Some things, like the library stacks, aren' t fixable, but 95 percent of the things are. Recommendations that have been taken thus far include (handicapped) signs being posted more immediately, the Main Place lifts being checked for operation on a daily basis, and food service line accessibility." Regarding Disability Awareness Week in general, Kaplan was very positive. "I thought is was a very successful week. I think Gary Nephew and the students who were on the committee deserve great credit - they put together a very good array of activities (such as the various speakers, the wheelchair basketball game, etc.).~and were able to make people aware and a little more sensitive." Kaplan stresses thei mportance of such activities for her and the other administrators that were involved in the program. "It was important to experience [life as a disabled person] from the perspective of someone who has to do it every day."

Dennis Dean accusers, Kimberly Meyer, Wanda Leiting, Melinda Thomea nd Jackie Arena, testified. In January, Kaplan wrote a letter to Dean informing him that she disagreed with the committee's recommendation and wanted him fired. Continued from Page 1 ment to preclude or discourage sex relationships? The document doesn't make it clear. I asked that question to the Sexual Harassment Committee, and their reaction was zero...Are we opposed to coercion, or are we opposed to sex?" Several students, when asked about a university policy on consentual relationships between students and faculty, expressed support for Snyder's arguments. Says senior English major Carlise Newman, "I think it's [the statement] stupid because we should be able tod o what we want, but, if it's, say, a student with a professor who teaches their class there might be some discretion needed..." "I don't think it's any of the university's business what faculty and/or staff and students do on their own free time," states Mike Paupore, a junior business major. "I think that we're all adults and that we can handle our own lives without the interference of other people." Adds student Lisa Dukowitz, "I think that that policy is kind of immature...I think that as college students, we should be able to have relationships with whomever we feel, it's not like we're children anymore..." Further, Snyder expressed concerns as to whether or not opposition to the statement are and wil l be taken seriously. "I spoke to the Sexual Harassment Committee and I raised some concerns about the statement, but I'm afraid that they were not listening too hard; they did not seem to be interested in my concerns...They heard me out, they were polite, I think they were sleeping through most of what I said, and when I had my say, they said Thank you,' and I left." Snyder states that he would like to initiate further discussion on both the issue and the statement.

April 23,1992 Campus News THE RANGER NEWS, Page 3® UW-Parkside's Student Health Services brings affordable health care to students on a budget Parkside's Student Health Services is one of the campus' best kept secrets By Scott Singer Layout Editor What do you do when you are in need of medical care on a budget? Where do you go when you have questions about your health or are in need of health supplies? Answers to these questions can sometimes seem difficult for students. Fortunately, there is an answer; the University of Wisconsin- Parkside's StudentHealth Services (SHS). SHS offers answers to these questions and more.

Feature Writer German natives Thomas Schuller and Hubert Goldbrunner spoke at a discussion at UW-Parkside on Wednesday, April 15, concerning theproblems and prospects of modern Germany after reunification. The men are on vacation traveling throughout the United States for two weeks and are stopping at a few colleges during this time. Both presented, according to their areas of expertise, several obstacles that a unified Germany must face in the present and in the future. Mr. Schuller is an information specialist with the Amerika Haus in Frankfurt and specializes in cultural and journalistic exchange between the United States and the =========== Federal Republic of Germany. He believes that one problem to ownership of property in the affecting every citizen of Germany former East Germany. make decisions and mediate disagreements in an attempt to smooth out the new troubles caused by reunification. One job of the government is to work out the thousands of claims Resurgence of r ightwing political groups, the financial effects caused b y t he w ithdrawal of American troops, and the future of th e at hletes fr om the former East Germany. is the inherent difficulty in attempting to merge two peoples who have not been interactive for over 40 years. "Buildup in the east," he states, "must be compensated by a decrease in the living standards in the west. It's hard for people to change their attitudes." The German government is in a difficult situation since it must Schuller explained that when Germany began its unification process the question arose whether West Germans who had owned property in East Germany before WWII should receive compensation for their lost property or whether the land should be returned to the owners. The current practice, Schuller says, is to return the land to the original owner. This policy means that the government has the burden of making decisions on hundreds of thousands of claims for restitution. Schuller talked about the Institute for Environmental Problems, a newly created group formed by the government to discuss solutions to the terrible waste and pollution problems in the former East Germany. Schuller explained that these problems are caused in large part by the use of inefficient brown coal in the factories. The Institute is working on a plan to clean up the environment and update the factories so that the air, water, and land in eastern Germany will not continue to be polluted. After Schuller's presentation, Mr. Goldbrunner brought up a few problems he recognized facing a recently unified Germany. Goldbrunner designs and implements social programs for troubled youth in Munich so his experience in counseling and educating the youth of Germany gives him a unique view of some of the social problems facing the country after reunification. Goldbrunner explained that the youth from eastern Germany "like their freedom," but this freedom also introduces several social problems that must be handled. There are many youths in eastem Germany whose ethnic background is Tuikish, but these youths are also second generation natives of Germany. Goldbrunner explained that this is a problem because these youths consider themselves German, but the ethnic Germans disagree whether or not these Turkish youths should be citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany. Goldbrunner says that there There are many youths in eastern Germany whose ethnic background is T urkish b ut these yo uths are a lso second generation n atives of Germany. has been some physical conflict over this issue, but the government is attempting to define and solve the problem. Goldbrunner also stated that one of the main social problems facing Germany is the integration of the educational systems of eastem and western Germany. A few of these decisions being made in Germany are how to give equal opportunity for higher education, how to smoothly institute English as a mandatory language in studies, how to make French and Latin the recommended choices in language studies instead of Russian, and how to find professors willing to teach in the former East Germany. Schuller and Goldbrunner addressed questions concerning other impacts of the reunified Germany. These include the resurgence of right-wing political groups, the financial effects caused byt he withdrawal of American troops, and the situation concerning the future of the athletes from the former East Germany. Schuller suggested that once tire problems are identified, the difficult decision for the government is how to spend and invest the tight budget of the united Germany. Should more money or less money be spent on education, infrastructure, foreign investment, production, or social programs? He proposes that these are the unanswerable questions that will materialize as the unification process continues. THE RANGER NEWS, Page 4 Feature April 23,1992 Shuttle Bus Colleen L. Clemins Staff Writer Almost everyone at UW-Parkside has made use of the shuttle bus service. But what do we really know about these men who drive us around campus? The listing posted on the bus merely says "morning, Duane" and "afternoons, Ron" ,but there is a lot more to these two men than that. Duane Stipek drives from 7:00 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. He starts his day out byc hecking out the busa nd to make sure it's running properly. He begins picking up passengers at 7:30 a.m. although there are not many at that hour. He finds his work to be pleasant yet sometimes monotonous. He does not mind. Before starting his job atUW-Paikside Duane thought he might have some problems with students but nothing of the sort has occurred. service: The men who drive us around campus Duane grew up in Cadot, WI, northeast of Eau Claire. He lived in Racine for about a year, but he has spent the last thirty-two years in Kenosha. Duane has been married for thirty-four years and he and his wife have five grown children. Duane leads a busy life. He worked for Chrysler for several years, but is now retired from there. He also worked in a train depot for Metra before coming to UW-Parkside in September of 1991. He enjoys traveling, playing horseshoes and fixing up old cars in his spare time. Duane finishes driving at 11:30 a.m. and that is when Ron Formella takes over. Ron is also retired from Chrysler and has done a numb er of different things since retiring. Among these things he has worked for the Illinois Lake County Forest Preserve and drove a bus for the Kenosha Achievement Center before coming to UW-Parkside in January 1992. Ron enjoys his job, especially meeting new people. He says his job can be monotonous and he admits he would like to drive the bus the wrong way around Inner Loop Road one day just to break the monotony. Ron is from Sharon, WI. He lived in Milwaukee for several years but has resided in Kenosha for the past twenty-three years. He has been married for thirty-two years and he and his wife Patricia have four children. Ron keeps busy in his spare time by helping his wife, who is a full-time realtor. He enjoys bike riding, bo wli ng and collecting rocks from the different places he's visited. Ron is also a student at UWParkside, but he hasn't decided on Ranger News photo by Mike Paupore Shuttle Bus driver waits for a student a major yet.

Getting a Job Is Serious Business Fear of rejection in your job search A Breadth of Knowledge at UW-Parkside By Jo Ann Goodyear Director, The Career Center As graduation approaches, friends and family ask the "famous" question, "What are you going to do after graduation?" Students often rationalize or try to explain away their fears regarding their fate after completing their degree. Fear of failing in a job search can keep students from honestly frying to look for a position. Rather than invest in a potentially long, depressing job search, students protect themselves by withholding effort. Such an approach becomes a trap: If you don't lode for a job, you can't find one. To overcome anxieties, graduating students need a job search strategy. To get started, candidates need to: • Assess job related skills • Define job target • Identify prospective employers and then launch a campaign. Remember, you need to generate "no's" to get to "yes"! The Career Center staff stands ready to assist students in many ways, before and after graduation. Take advantage of this free source of advice and encouragement! By Christopher J. Daniel Staff Writer Since the First c lass of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, the university has offered a variety of courses developed to ensure students of a liberal- based education. At the University of Wisconsin- Parkside, these courses are called Breadth of Knowledge (BOK). Breadth of Knowledge courses range from geography to political science, with many fields of study in between. Although it may be said by some students that thBe OK courses are a waste of time and energy, many students feel that they positively profited from the courses offered. These students provided the following comments. "The diversity of courses provides students with a well rounded education," states Monique Ritacca. She goes cm to e xplain how she gained a greater appreciation for the arts after taking an art appreciation course. Another student, Colleen Clemins, believes that "today's students need to be knowledgeable in a variety of areas." The BOK courses immensely offered assistance in the effort to receive a complete education. For example, the political science course that Colleen took gave her a "greater understanding of the political world." Junior Henry Owens states that at first he did not want to take any of these BOK courses; he took them because they were required. However, much to his surprise, he realized that he enjoyed many of the courses. As a result, Henry took a much greater interest in those other areas. These statements only reinforce the idea that learning allows the individual to understand the world around him or her, and that learning in this respect can be quit e rewarding. If this is so, what belter way to learn than at a university with all of the professionals of that particular discipline here to encourage and assist you personally? It would be so much easier for students to do well in these courses, if they wentintotheseBOKclasses with an open mind and a dedicated spirit. Anthony Brown, director of the Center for Educational and Cultural Advancement, also adds that it would be extremely helpful if students would take an active role in seeking advising early on to ensure that courses that would most fit our individual academic needs would be taken. So, the next time you happen to take one of these required courses, do it with an open mind, an open heart and a smile. Who knows, taking one of these courses may change your course in life!

April 23,1992 Feature THE RANGER NEWS, Page 5 Regents stand firm on fees for elderly Mike Dorsher Wisconsin State Journal, A divided UW Board of Regents rebuffed a horde of letterwriting senior citizens Friday April 10, refusing to allow them to audit classes for free. On a 10-6 vote, the regents affirmed their year-old policy of requiring state residents age 62 and older to pay 30 percent of the normal audit fee. Non-resident senior citizens must pay 50 percent of the non-resident audit fee. Under a policy revision, disabled students of all ages are allowed to audit classes for free. Each campus' chancellor may waive audit fees for the needy of any age, but courses may only be audited when there is extra room in the class. After the board replaced the policy that allowed free auditing by the elderly, the number of those auditing classes fell from 235 in summer 1990 to 108 last summer, and from 940 in fall 1990 to 441 last fall. As a result, the new fee revenue totaled less than $36,000. "The amount of money may be small," regent Bert Grover said, "but the principle is not" "Non-need-based entitlements are taking America down the tubes," Grover said. 'This institution ought not get into discriminatory policies." Regent Lee Dreyfus argued for free auditing for the elderly, noting he instituted the policy more Celebrate a well informed summer break By Christine Bunkers Staff Writer With summer break on the horizon, end of semester parties ensue. Parties, big or small, can be found all over town. But what is the connection between letting one's hair down at the end of the semester and chemistry? (Yes, chemistry.) The connection, when drinking occurs, is the blood alcohol level (BAC). This past winter two chemistry students from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside campus conducted an experiment which served two purposes. The first was to test the accuracy of alcohol consumption charts, and the second was to determine whether or not the legal limit of. 10% was too high, too low or average. The results may surprise you. They may even effect the way you feel about the current legal limit Matthew J. Lopour and Michael Riley under the supervision of Dr. Richard Judge tested urine samples to determine the exact blood alcohol levels after having consumed enough alcohol to place them at the .10% level according to consumption charts. Both Lopour and Riley consumed six -twelve ounce beers in one hour at the rateo f one every ten minutse. They then proceeded to drink three more twelve ounce beers over a period of two more hours. Urine samples were taken at two different times. The first one was taken one and ah alf hours after consumption and the second was taken three hours after. According to the chart, at the one and a half hour interval their blood alcohol levels should be between .08 and .09%. At three hours the chart placed them somewhere between .11 and .15%. At the first testing, Lopour and Riley were approximately between .06 and .07%. At the second, Lopour's BAC was .0889% and Riley's was .1594%. Riley weighs ten pounds less than Lopour and began drinking on an empty stomach. What conclusions did the experiment provide? The good news is that the alcohol consumption charts are fairly accurate. This experiment reaffirmed the understanding that weight and stomach content do effect the level of intoxication. Finally, according to Lopour, who at .09% could barely walk or keep his eyes open let alone take a sobriety test, "...the legal limit in Wisconsin is way too high."

Thompson than 20 years ago when he was chancellor at UW-Stevens Point "It enhances class discussions to have someone on hand who lived through the Depression and World War II," Dreyfus said. "They become a very real academic information base in that class." But, for now, regent Obert Vattendahl suggested senior citizens save their money for audit fees instead of spending 29 cents apiece on letters to regents. The current senior citizens' audit fee of $60 to $70 for a threecredit class is still a good deal, said regentPhyllisKrutsch. And it will seem like an even better deal after those senior citizens who used to audit for free "fade away," she said. By Jackie Niles News writer On Monday, April 20, Rep. Spencer Black, D-Madison, encouraged citizens to pressure Gov. Tommy G. Thompson to sign Bill AB590 into law. This comprehensive energy bill was approved by the State Legislature in March. In his presentation at Racine's Unitarian Church, 625 College Ave., Black explained that Thompson has threatened to veto AB590, which is designed to force state government to use renewable energy resources and enact new conservation practices. AB590 would also discourage the Wisconsin Energy Commission's proposal to build 57 new coal-powered energy plants. Black encouraged residents to request that their state legislators vote for programs aimed at using renewable energy sources and reducing energy usage. According to Jenny Clark and Jeff Appenzeler, both juniors and members of the Geoscience Club and Racine Area Earth Day Organization, Black stated that, "The Midwest and the Great Plains states are the Persian Gulf of wind energy and can produce all the energy we need." Wind could also generate more energy than the 57 coal-fueled power plants currently being proposed, claimed Black. As evidence for the effectiveness of wind-generated energy, he pointed to the state of California, where legislators have relied on wind and solar energy sources, and thus, have generated more energy than all of Wisconsin's power plants. Black also noted that the Midwest has more available wind-energy than California. Black criticized the Thompson administration for focusing on highway building projects, instead of concentrating on light rail and other forms of mass transportation. He stated that Thompson plans to use the majority of this year' s $224 million in federal transportation aid for developing highways. Black also said that he was unsuccessful in budgeting $70 million in federal funds to promote rail, bicycle, and pedestrian transportation projects. The conservation of energy is as important as promoting renewable energy sources, emphasized Black. He plans to introduce a comprehensive conservation policy that would save $26 million next year by replacing two million lighted exit signs in public buildings with 10-watt bulbs, instead of the 44-watt bulbs currently used. Not only would this save an estimated $13 for each exit sign, but it would also eliminate the need for one of the proposed coal-powered energy plants. The State Representative also criticized universities, which are supposed to be centers of learning, for not having recycling programs, when prison centers have been able to initiate these programs. While there have been several discouraging factors concerning renewable energy and energy conservation legislation, Black is confident that Wisconsin will become one of the leaders in this legislation as it was with recycling legislation when it passed Wisconsin 335, which bans several recyclable items from landfills by 1995 and is considered one of the nation's most comprehensive recycling laws. 20% DISCOUNT Clip & Save This Ad To All Parkside students and faculty members only.

We had the opportunity to see the MTV 120 Minutes tour at its stop in Chicago on Friday, April 10, during a private showing for Northwestern University, and figured it might make for a good review. Anyway, heeeeeeere's Dave! Thank-you Sam and Andy, but before going into the review on the bands I must say that that first I had heard about Blind Melon, LIVE, PIL, or Big Audio Dynamite II preforming together was on April 10 at 1:00pm. After limited negotiations Sam and Andy kidnapped me and commandeered my vehicle forcing me to pay the tolls and gas out of money I planned to use to buy tickets to see Comedy of Errors. Upon arriving at the Aragon Ball R oom I had to convince a Northwestern student to purchase a ticket for me and the conversation went as follows: "Hey you want to buy me a ticket?" "Why should I?" "I lost my ID and can't get in." "So What" "I'll give ya five bucks." "OK." I entered while Sam and Andy were still stuck in line because their names did not appear on the guest list. While Sam and Andy waited to be approved on the guest list I watched as a woman in her forties tried to pass security with the 'line'. "I'm the mother of one of the band members." I thought 'RIGHT' why didn't I think of that until Shannon the lead singer for Blind Melon walked up and waved his mother and their entourage in. After half an hour Sam and Andy finally begged their way in. Thus began the adventure. Blind Melon rocked the stage with their opening number as a subdued Northwestern crowd chatted about exams and annoying professors. Shannon, the lead singer, at one point tried to get the crowd going by throwing his socks into the masses. This got a limited response; however, Shannon mocked the students by repeating the verse 'Are you in a comma' in his last song. By the laconic response he received from the crowd my guess is that they were. Grade: A Following Blind Melon was LIVE with another exciting selecors. In the years ahead, what kind of memories will you have when you see your school colors? If you choose the Wisconsin Army National Guard, some of your best memories will probably be in different shades of green. There was the green you earned to help pay for college by serving in the Army National Guard. The 50% tuition grant More than $6,000 through the Montgomery G.I. Bill. And up to $10,000 in the Student Loan Repayment Program. Then there was the green you wore as you mounted roaring helicopters and speeding M-l tanks The green that hid you from the "enemy" in rugged terrain. And the green that represented your friends' envy about the skills you were learning - in computers, electronics, communications and other technical fields. All it took out of your college life was about two days a month and two weeks each year. But it was one unforgettable experience - and a lot of colorful memories.

LFVE's stage presence was less than desirable f or they seamed to fumbled around the stage look for spots to sing or play, Spitting into the audience, and tossing condoms into the thrashing crowd. but considering that all the band members were under twenty-one they still have time to work it out Even if this band did not know where to play they knew how to play and by their quality of play they are definitely a band to watch for. Grade: B PIL headed by the lead singer Jonnie Lydon, former lead singer for the Sex Pistols, appealed to the crowd by swearing, cursing, spitting into the audience, and tossing condoms into the thrashing crowd. Their songs were far from being tight and meaningful, but the fact that he mooned the fans four times helped make up for the purpose of their being on stage. The only joy this band brought was that they loosened up the crowd. Unbelievable, this band played three encores in which I was tripped, trampled, and punched. However bad this treatment may seem nothing can compare with the treatment Andy received after venturing to close toa Northwestern woman. We knew this because she turned around and sucker punched Andy in the jaw. Grade: F Big Audio Dynamite II crashed the stage with a performance that made the preceding bands seem professional by comparison. Unfortunately the fans felt this worthy of thrashing to the point that people had to be escorted out by security and women had to run for the back for fear of being trampled. The only redeeming factor this band held for me as that we left early, thereby avoiding traffic cm the way home. Grade: CWell that concludes this week of beating my head against a wall. Next week Sam and Andy will be back with their review of Concrete Blonde's "Walking in London". April 23,1992 Feature THE RANGER NEWS, Page 7 Gary Nephew: "If you have the right attitude" By Frank Mejia Special to The Ranger News Who is that short, dark, and handsome guy that comes down Molinaro Hall every morning with a smile on his face? It's industrial relations senior, Gary Nephew. Nephew was bom with spina bifida, a rare birth defect that exposes the spinal cord. There was not proper knowledge for treating this defect in the 1960's and therefore Nephew is paralyzed from the waist down. At two years of age Nephew's biological parents put him up for adoption. For the next two years, Nephew wentf rom one fosterh ome to another until, at age four, his elementary school bus driver, Paulene Stiles, and her husband decided to take him in for good. At age five, Nephew wanted to attend a mainstream school, but Ranger News photo by Mike Paupore Gary Nephew works out Social Services felt he belonged in "normal" school. a mentally disabled home. Nephew and Stiles fought an uphill battle and won. Nephew, with the helpo f a wheelchair, was able to attend a "If you yearn for something badly enough, you can achieve anything - if you have the right attitude," says Nephew. Throughout his junior high and high school years, Nephew became actively involved in sports - with much opposition from his wrestling coach. However, with perseverance Nephew made Kenosha Tremper High School's varsity wrestling team, and held the school's record in pull-ups for three years. In May of 1990, Nephew took fourth place in a West Allis weightlifting tournament. He benched 205 pounds while competing in the 118-pound weight division. Nephew has won many distinguished student awards and has held numerous positions in organizations. Nephew is a member of Pi Sigma Epsilon (PSE) and theP arkside S tudent Government Association (PSGA). In the past week, Nephew has received well-deserved attention from the Racine Journal Times regarding his outstanding coordination of the activities for the UWParkside's Disability Awareness Week. When Gary Nephew's name came up in a conversation freshman Bridgette Bowitz stated, "I've never seen Gary's disability stop him from doing anything. He's very determined." PSGA president Eric Bovee said, "Gary's a right hand to me. He does a lot, if not more for our organization than any other member." When asked what he will miss most about UW-Parkside upon graduation, Nephew replies, "I'll miss all the people I've met and worked with through all the organizations I've been involved with."

The Ranger News needs help from UW-Parkside students, faculty, staff, and administration. The Ranger News has gone through many changes this year, from our new name to the quality of writing. At the beginning of the year, we set out to accomplish three goals: 1) Cover more news, and to make it more interesting; 2) Improve the quality of writing; and 3) To make the newspaper look more attractive. We were the first to reveal the Omar Amin story, the Dennis Dean story, and the NCAA's investigation of UW-Paikside's Men's Basketball team story. We also did special stories on UW-Parkside's Administrators, so the U\ Parkside community would be aware of these individuals who make import ant decisions concerning our education. The Editorial/Opinion pages covered issues dealing with sexual harassment, racism and sexism, free speech, and the poor communication lines between administration and faculty, and administration and students. We felt these issues were important issues to deal with on a college campus. We changed procedures around so the quality of writing would be better, more creative, and more interesting. We added an extra copy editor to the staff this year, as well as having one specific staff member assist our writers in any way possible. We also attended a journalism workshop, where programs discussing news writing, and investigative reporting were offered. To improve thea ppearance of then ewspaper, we added more graphics, more color, and first time color photos. We also improved our layout and paste-up procedures. At times, we were unable to provide the kind of news, feature, and sports coverage we would have liked to because of our serious budget deficit, but we triedo ur best What do you think of this year's Ranger News'? Have we accomplished our goals? What can we do to improve the quality of the newspaper? Your voice is very important Let us know what you think... the good, as wella s the bad.W rite al etter to the editor, write to the QUE boxes available around campus, or just let someone on staff know what you think. ) Politik from Parkside Crime is a golden By Bill Horner Columnist "The total bill for corrections, including jails, police, and the court system, came to$ 25 billion in1 988, lOtimes what was spent a year earlier. (A. Crittendon, New York 1989) ScottTicer of Business Week states that "A gargantuan prison construction boom devours about $65 million a week." We spend billions of dollars every year on our criminal justice system. This system is supposed to prevent/deter and punish criminal behavior. What is wrong with this system? Why doesn't it work? Why is crime increasing on a national level every single year? \ "Nearly 2% of all adulst -3.4 million people are in prison, jail, on parole, or on probation." (Ticer) Crittendon writes"... and what have we bought,..^ country where one out of 10 adult black males is egg tist to figure this one out. The American criminal justice system is clearly a "Big Business." Individuals, communities, states, business, and the Federal Government reap a gigantic finacial reward for their role in the growing "Business" of crime. The economic gains resulting from the expenditures associated with the present criminal justice system clearly outweigh instituting any alternative system that would generate less of a financial reward. It would seem that the present criminal justice system is in the business of promoting, producing, and manufacturing crime. Criminal behavior increases yearly. The profits to the justice system increase yearly. The American criminal justice system is a business that is constantly renewing and reinforcing itself. unronunate!^ it does not allow for anv alternative methods that mav not be Editorial / Opinion April 23,1992 Letters to the Editor... To the Editor: This is an open letter to say thankyou o our faculty. April 20-24th was spring break for most public and private schools in the area. (Racine/ Kenosha) Many students, who are also parents of school age children, had no one to care for their children either in part or for all the vacation. All my professors, and all the professors, I hear d about, were just wonderful to our children. They actually went out of their way in many cases to make the children feel comfortable. Thank You again for trying to make the educational experience a little easier for the non-traditional students. Jackie Kusters To the Editor In the April 7th issue of the Journal Times there was an article on the minority enrollment here at UW-Parkside. This article stated that the fourth statewide report on the UW System's Design for Diversity program showed that since 1988 UW-Parkside has consistently been near or above its minority student enrollment goals, in addition has exceeded the goal for hiring minority faculty. In this article, chancellor Sheila Kaplan is quoted to have said that the report shows diversity efforts UW-Parkside started before the U W system implemented its master plan in May 1988. Sheila also said that she has made this a personal priority even before the regents entered into the Design for Diversity program. So Sheila, now that you have met your personal goal for recruiting minority students, I want to be the first to say congratulations! But, now that we are here, do the diversity efforts here at UW-Parkside have any plans on how to keep us here? Or let me put it this way, now that you have us here Sheila, how do you plan to retain us? Are you assuming that just because you have recruited and retained more minority students than anticipated that the problem is solved? Come on Sheila, you're not responding to the needs of minorities. For example, the CECA office here is far too small. If you plan to adequately serve the increasing number of minority students here, this is the place to start; because right now it's virtually impossible to properly do that. Sincerely, John Taylor Notebook Waiting for better weather Editorial Note: The Ranger News would like to introduce and welcome the newest member of our EditioriallOpinion page. Dave Chmielewski Columnist 6:00 a.m., Monday, April 20,1992. A soft warm rain falls in the gloom of dawn. This weekend, spring finally arrived. Easter, if wet, was warm enough to leave the jacket at home. Yet the landscape is winterlike. The grass is beginning to green up,butthetreesarebare. The farm fields are barren, too wet for activity. Only the crocuses and woodland violets seem to be in bloom. Still, it is the twentieth of April. If we get a sunny afternoon, stay indoors. The ~ u„i : came more aware that day. Awareness had led to some action. In the aftermath of the first Earth Day,.Congress enacted environmental legislation setting limits on air and water pollution from factories and automobiles. At the local level, we now recycle more of our wastes. Yet, the impending environmental disaster is more palpable than ever. A hole in the ozone layer has appeared over New England this winter. We can now see the end of playing in the sun and can only guess the fate of plant and animal species that can't hide in the shade. Satellites silently observe the disappearance of the tropical rain forest. The bluefin tuna fishery in the NorthA tlantic isd isappearing for reasons that are not altogether clear. Acid rain is turningl akes in the northeastern limit our choice in personal vehicles. We recycle, but we don't like it. Who can enjoy separating trash? Perhaps another reason that the environmental degradation continues is that activists follow too closely the dictum "think globally, but act locally." Who today is taking on the global polluters, outfits like General Motors that export capital from the United States to third world countries for both the low wage labor available there and the unlimited right to pollute? We seem to think that our only impact on that can come from the ritual to elect whatever Democrat comes along every couple of years. Do we forget that the initial environmental legislation after the first Earth TVm> Ain-inn tV ic* oilminio tntinn ftf and what have we bought,..^ country where one out of 10 adult black males is now living under some form of correctional supervision, including probation and parole..." Folks, it doesn't take a rocket scien- Unfortunately, it does not allow for any alternative methods that may not be effective. Why should they, why should they kill the goose that laid the golden egg. Gabe's Gab The new Hacker By Gabe Kluka Columnist The computer is a great tool. That is what most people who know how to use one will tell you. I agree. After a frustrating session of programming, I am certain that I would have no problems using a computer to drive nails or break up concrete. They are fairly heavy, and you could probably get some really good impact if you swing one using the power cord. Hacker is a name for someone who is a deviate computer wizard. Usually hackers cause trouble by creating computer viruses, or by getting into other peoples computers and messing up or erasing files. Unfortunately, the majority of us are denied the pleasure of being able to mess around and screw things up. This is due to the fact that those little machines make drooling idiots out of us about 80% of the time. However, this does not prevent us from becoming computer hackers in a different sense of the word. If you chop a computer up with an axe, you qualify. You can proudly say, "Yes, I am a computer hacker. I hack them to bits with my trusty hatchet." My favorite thing about computing is the sheer anger it can generate. It isn't the blow upk ind either. It'st he slow roling boil type. If you have ever sat down and watched people work in the library, or in Molinaro You can proudly say, "Yes, I am a computer hacker. I hack them to bits with my trusty hatchet." 118, you will see some amazingly funny things. People will get very mad at the terminal, to the point that they have converbioom. still, it is the twentieth of April. If we get a sunny afternoon, stay indoors. The natural explosion will be overwhelming. I was reminded this weekend that Wednesday is Earth Day. I participated in the first one 22 years ago. I went with a group from my high school for a touro f the Milwaukee sewerage plant. In the afternoon, we picked up trash along the highways leading toU nion Grove, finally parading our booty down Main Street We besationswithit. Usually these conversations go like this like this, "What.., What did I do now? Hmmm... WHY are you beeping at me! Arrgh! You stupid machine! Hey! Give me my paper back! Pleeease give me my paper back, I p romise I'll never call you a bad name again!", or like this, Machine! Sh** SH** SH**! DIE!". People who are normally quiet and reserved, will growl and moan like angry dogs. It's all very pleasant. I firmly believe that if there was some sort of outlet for people's computer frustrations the incidence of heart attacks and other fatal occurrences would drop markedly. This outlet could either be a place without any artificial intelligence, or a room with baseball bats and foam rubber computer terminals. Of course, if you had the latter, the sound of breaking glass would have to be heard every time you hit the foam rubber terminal, justt o give it thatt ouch of realism. As for me, I am going to try and build a house with one. I hope it works out. University of Wisconsin-Parkside Member of the Associated Collegiate Press 900 Wood Road. Box 2000.

The feature stories on administrative personnel were especially interesting and well-written. Overall, the paper is interesting to read and appears more professional. Keep up the good work! SUGGESTION: Kudos to Dan Chiappetta and the whole Ranger staff for producing a top quality newspaper. Gwen Heller's series on Administrators is excellent and a much needed means of helping us come to know them on a more personal level. The Stranger News was a hoot from start to finish - very creative. Gave us all a good laugh. SUGGESTION: Use paper products (rather then styrafoam )(sic) and recycle garbage. RESPONSE: By January 1,1993, the state has mandated that UWParkside and all state facilities recycle 50% of their solid waste, as a beginning. Plans are being formulated at present to initiate the recycling program. There are camps both for and against paper or styrofoam usage.

SUGGESTION: Why can't the Coffee Shoppe hours be retur ned to normal, the prices reduced on food, and the Union Square hours opened earlier? have had to purchase an additional 1800 forks a t a cost of $435.00, 1200 spoons $198.00, and 600 knives - $270.00. These items are taken and/or thrown away by customers in the Union Dining Room. That amounts to almost one complete table setting for each customer that goes through our operations each day. Again business dictates the hours of service for an operation, and the avoidance of duplication of services in 2 areas that are in close proximity. RESPONSE: From Jeff Wade Presently we are temporarily closing the Coffee Shoppe at 6:30 pm based on the amount of business or lack thereof after 6:00 pm in the evening. We researched the sales and found it to be primarily soda and beverage sales. We also observed many people using the vending areas while our operation was open, purchasing soda, which is a duplication of service. We did at students request, open the Deli on Saturday evenings. I have been involved in the food service industry for 16 years and have never experienced a decrease in the cost of food or labor. Every year those two costs, which are the major determining factor of food prices, have increased which eventually gets passed on to the consumer. Another major cost to be considered in the prices charged fo r food are the replacement of equipment This school year alone, we SUGGESTION: Expantian(sic)of art department. RESPONSE: The Art Department agrees that it would like to expand. It has requested two additional positions, an art historian and agraphicsdesign specialist Unfortunately, the School of Liberal Arts does not have a large enough budget to add these positions. Because of the size of our university, we sim ply cannot hire faculty in every area of study. We have set our priorities carefully, and we know that they will not satisfy every need. SUGGESTION: It is difficult for me to understand why the University allows Dr. Datta to force students to get his personal approval to register for Biology course. I meet with my advisor, get her approval and then have to stand before Dr. Datta's inquiry! No other department head is allowed to wield such heavy-handed power. It's also offensive for me to see all those closed section signs on so many science (and business) courses on the first day of registration. What QUE . ,: gives? How can the courses be closed when registration opens up on the first day? Most departments state the prerequisites and leave it to the student to have the responsibility to select courses appropriately. Biology and Business treat us like babies and give us the runaround. So much for QUE... RESPONSE: From Arthur Corr The designation T-CLS (temporary close) was used to prevent students who did not meet the requirements from registering for upper level courses in the School of Business. The 300 and400 level courses have specific requirements in addition to the individual course prerequisites. They are: 1. Completed a minimum of 54 credit hours 2. GPA of at least 2.5 - with and without transfers T-CLS did not mean that the course was closed. It indicated that students needed faculty authorization to take the course. During advising business students are informed of the process and are given written permission to register for upper level business courses. I have been informed that T-CLS will no longer appearon thescreen; students, however, will still need written permission to register fo r 300 and 400 level courses. This does not apply to 200 level business courses.

Story B2 Schiesser halts search for new coach Ex-coach gains court injunction to delay Athletic Department By TED McINTYRE Sports Editor Former UW-Paricside men's Basketball coach A1 Schiesser has obtained a temporary injunction preventing the university from hiring a new coach to replace him. Schiesser's contract was not renewed for the 1992-93 season. He obtained the injunction in Dane County Circuit Court, pending a hearing April 23. Schiesser claims the university did not give him adequate notice that his contract would not be renewed. According to vice chancellor John Stockwell, the university is required to notify a coach one full year in advance to his dismissal "He (Coach Schiesser) was given proper notice that he his contract would not be renewed." said Stockwell in an interview. Jennifer Lattis, an assistant Wisconsin attorney general representing UW-Parkside in the case said she will seek to have the restraining order annuled. Chancellor Kaplan, Athletic Director Linda Draft and S tockwell have indicated that the dismissal of Schiesser's job was due to a recalssification of his job, and a requirement that the men's basketball coach have a master's degree and teach within the athletic department They also indicated that the dismissal was not due Schiesser's 40-70 UW-Parkside coaching record or the National Collegiate Athletic Association investigation of team players allegedly receiving gambling chips from a booster on an Iowa riverboat in January. The injunction will currently halt the search for a new men's basketball c oach which has seen over 50 applicants for the position of head coach. Chancellor Kaplan said "At the moment, it doesn't delay anything, if the order is continued, that could be a problem for us." Alan Schiesser, famous for his slow down style of hoops has pulled the ultimate stalI gaining a court injunction halting the athletic dept. search. A1 or no Al?

Yes 3 No 106 Rangers defeat powerhouse Titans in 1-2 weekend By TED McINTYRE Sports Editor The Ranger baseball team bounced back from two tough losses Friday and Saturday to gain one of their most impressive wins of the season beating NCAA i n second ranked UW-Oshkosh 6-2 at Oshkosh Saturday afternoon. The Rangers, now 8-13 on the season after the 1-2 week, lost Friday to UW-Whitewater at Whitewater 6-1. The Rangers wasted a great outing by pitcher Scott Fletcher. Fletcher went the entire eight innings and gave up 12 hits but just one earned run. The Rangers had four errors in the first inning and two in the third getting three runs in each inning. That was the story of the game for UW-Paricside. The Rangers came up with a run in the eighth but it was too little too late. "We have not played enough games to get the rust out." explained coach Pete Peerenboom. "We battle consistency. Sometimes, we battle (consistency) at the plate, sometimes in the field and sometimes on the mound. When you commit six errors in one game, your not going to beat anybody." Saturday the Ranger woes continued with bad luck as they fell one run shoit in a pitchers dual between Kelly Zielinski and UWOshkosh's Joe Gasph losing 2-1. The nationally ranked Titans and Rangers were scoreless through five and a half when Oshkosh scored. The Rangers tied the game in the sixth on right fielder Dave Coughlin tripled in centerfielder Domonic Delrose. The Titans won the game in the bottom of the sixth when they capatalized on an error by Marc Thompson at short and scored on a walk and a bunt The Rangers won 6-2 in game two, behind Brian Crandall, who pitched five and two thirds innings and gave up four hits, and Paul Phillips who went one and a third allowing just one hiL The Rangers broke the ice scoring one in the third and twoi n the fourth and sixth then one in the seventh. The Rangers were sparked by second baseman Gregg Green who went three for four and drove in a run. "We both played flawless ball but we outhit them and that was the difference," said Peerenboom. RANGER NEWS SPORTS, Page B2 April 24,1992 Breu an all-around success for Ranger squad ' B y TIMROBERSON Special to the Ranger Good things come in small packages, that's what the UWParkside track and cross country coach and teammates can say, because they are the ones who obtained this small package. The inside of this package contained a five feet, six inch young lady by the name of Tricia Breu. Breu was born in Marshville, WI., and later moved to Aubumdale, WI. where she attended Auburndale High and started her yellow brickr oad which led her to UW- Parkside. She grew up on a farm with her parents and three other sisters. Breu qualified for state all four years in high school, and that's what led to her stardom and having the choices of many colleges to choose from. After visiting many colleges to see which one she would attend, Breu decided to attend the University of Wisconsin- Parkside. As Breu puts it, "The reason I chose Parkside was because of the atmoshere, the dorms, and the teacher/student ratio." Breu came to University of Wisconsin- Parkside in 1988 and started making her marie in the classroom as well as on the track and cross country courses. During Tricia's freshman year, she worked forthe Volunteer Program, in which she helped the school and society by working in soup kitchens to help serve the poor of Kenosha. Breu also helped in a program called, "Kinship" in which once a month, she would take a child from a single parent home and take him or her to an activity or special event Additionally Breu distrubted flyers in Kenosha for recyling. Through these services, The University of Wisconsin- Parkside recognized Breu as a "Volunteer of The Week." Breu made it to the cross country nationals her first year at Parkside. Some of Breu's other accomplishments came during her junior year in which she placed second at nationals and first for UW- Parkside. She finished second NAIA and third in NCAA. She also set a new UW- Parkside record in the 1500m, at a time of 4:34, and earned All American honors. In achieving these accomplishments, Breu has not only made a name for herself and UW- Parkside, but she has also given state wide recognition to an otherwise, unknown Aubumdale athletic program. Breu credits a lot of her motivation and will to work hard to her younger sister, who comes and watches Breu participate at her meets. She also credits her mother and father for taking the timeo ut to ride bikes with her, and do other fun activities. As Breu put it, "If it wasn't for my coach and teammates pushing me and encouraging me, I wouldn't have accomplished all these goals." Breu plans on graduating in December and after that she wants to teach. Breu is pursing a degree in Education and Psychology. She also plans on getting her degree in Psychology, and hoping to go on and be a Child Psychologist. Breu plans for running in a track festival Doctor prescribes Bulls as a shoe-in Dr. L. rates the field in his NBA playoff analysis Now it is time for Dr. L to shine once again. The NBA playoffs have arrived, and the Doctor of Sportsology has the answers. This year's playoffs begin with two words: Chicago Bulls. To better understand this, first let's look at the Eastern Division. Besides, the Bulls, Dr. L sees twoteams who have a realistic chance of destroying the champs. First, let's start with the Boston Celtics. Let's face it, this team is getting hot at the right moment heading into the playoffs. More interestingly, they are doing it without the "Legend." Any possible minutes Lairy plays in the playoff is only an extra bonus. If Boston survives first round date with Indiana, they can be headed on a collision course to meet Chicago in the Finals. If they do, Dr. L says they have a chance, a very real chance. With Lany in there, things can only look that much better. > The other scenario would be Cleveland facing the "Champs" in the Eastern Conference Finals. During the season, Chicago has diverted much attention away from Cleveland. Cavaliers have had a great season, which has been helped by the return of Mark Price. Brad Doherity is very solid at center, and Larry Nance has had another solid season at forward. However, Cleveland has too many unanswered questions. The On Sports by Dr. L. Sports Guru biggest question is who will guard Michael Jordan? Craig Ehlo is out, and I don't think Steve Kerr is the answer. Biggest problem for Michael is, how many points should he decide to score - 50, 60, 70? Final Analysis, Chicago will repeat as Eastern Conference Champs. The only question in theW estem Division, is there a team worthy of playing the Chicago Bulls at this point Dr. L sees, Portland as having the best chance to meet up with the Bulls, and possibly dethrowning the Bulls? Although, the Trail Blazers face a difficult challenge in making it back to the "promise-land." They play a team called The LA Lakers in the first round. If they survive them, they will make a date with the "Champs." Overall, Portland has enough athletic-talent to match the Bulls. Might in reality, have even more. However, in the final analysis, Dr. L likes Chicago's team defense, and their half-count offense over Portland's. Two things which have prevented Portland from achieving what Bulls have. Thus, Dr. L picks Chicago ( like everyone else ) to repeat as champs. The only question left - the question of three-peat? Tricia Breu held by the NAIA in Germany, Switzerland, and Australia during the summer, in which, she will complete for the U.S. One key issue that Breu wants to stress is thast he would like tos ee more students come to college for the learning and not so much for the sports. She also want to stress that there is life after sports, and to make it in that life, you will definitely need a degree. Hollywood, Bad Boys set for rematch Tonight's intramural basketball championship features a rematch of last falls championship game as number one seeded and undefeated Hollywood (14-0) takes on fifth seeded Bad Boys from Biscayne (11-5). Holly wood beat Still Ugly and Straight P-No Cut in close games to reach the finals, while the Bad Boys rolled in three relative blow outs over We Improved, S.M.D. and Really Rottens. Hollywood has not lost an IM game since last October, their last loss, to the Bad Boys. The Bad Boys started off this season slowly before finishing strong. In their only match-up of this season, Hollywood won on a last second tip in by John Veenstra. Big keys to the game will be Hollywood's transition game, opposed to the Bad Boys tough half court offense and defense Campus oddsmaker M.C. "Juice" Jones has Holly wood as 12 point favorites. Rangers look to improve on successful 1991 campaign By JOEL MEADOW Special to the Ranger The UW-Parkside soccer Rangers finished the 1991 season with a 15-2-1 record overall and a final ranking of 12 in the NCAA DII poll. The Rangers are already busy making preparations for the 92' campaign. The Rangers face the difficult task of improving from the great success enjoyed in 91'. Despite the 15-2-1 record and a national ranking, the Rangers were denied a post season bid in their first year in division II. Strength of schedule was cited as a reason for turning down UW-Parkside. The selection committee decided that the Rangers did not "go to the well" enough times against quality teams. To remedy this situation and make the Rangers a more desirable and qualified candidate for selection, the Rangers will be playing some top level competition next season. The Rangers are making plans to play the NCAA II National Champions. The tournament will be held in Orlando, Florida. The Florida Institute ofT echnology has extended an invitation to theR angei soccer team to play in their tourna ment This invitation came just si> days after FIT won the national championship. The Rangers will also face division II powerhouse in the Uni versity of Tampa which finished the season with a 16-3-1 record anc a number five national ranking. The Rangers will rely on central core of seven seniors whic includes; Ron Knestruct, Bo Rodgers, Joel Meadow, Chri Ryan, Derrick Wilkinson, Osca: Toscano, and Nick Hemer to pro vide the leadership and means ncc essary to ensure a successful tour nament and season. UW-Parkside coach Rick Kilps has high hopes but makes nc promises about the upcoming sea son. "We are returning a lot o kids, but there is no guarantee we will be as good or better." With a strong group o underclassmem, senior experience and a little bit of luck, the Range soccer team will be on the road u post season play and a shot at the National Championship. April 24,1992 RANGER NEWS SPORTS, Page B3 All-American Skarda looks toward future By STARLIN STEVENS Special To The Ranger Senior wrestler Steve Skarda added yet another Ail-American honor to his list of accomplishments. It was Skarda's third in as many years ('90,'91, and '92). Skarda finished second this year in the National Athletic Intercollegiate wrestling tournament Skarda posted an impressive 27-5-1 record this season. In his career Skarda has won well over 80 wrestling matches. Skarda was pleased with his All-American honors, "I,m glad to be voted as an All-American, it's a great honor to be voted and thought of as being one of the best in the country in such a tough sport." The Wisconsin wrestling conference is one of the toughest and most credited in the country. Skarda WOT wrestler of the year in his respected district. "I'm just glad that all the hard work in the gym, training, and Steve Skarda mental preparation payed off." There is life after wrestling for Skarda. Steve plans to graduate in May with a degree in Secondary Education. Skarda wants to teach youngsters and coach wrestling at the high school level. "I'd like to get the young kids mentally and physically prepared to deal with college and life after school." Skarda believes that it is very hard to make the transition from the high school student star athlete to just another college athlete. Skarda wants to work with these to open their young eyes and minds so that they won't suffer mentally when the young student makes the transition. But before leaving, the threetime All-American plans to stay on and help Coach Koch with rebuilding the wrestling program. Overall, Skarda says, he has enjoyed UW-Parkside and being on the wrestling team. "I'm going to miss the guys, thter ips, and most of all the competition." Skarda is leaving us next May, but his photo and many achievements are up in the Parkside Wall of Fame for all to see.

This weeks top of the line, crem de la crem, 'A' #1, big fish of the week is Ranger second baseman Greg (that's one g on the end) Green. Greg sparked the Ranger victory over nationally ranekd UW-Oshkosh Saturday by going 3-4, stealing a base and driving a run. Against UWWhitewater Friday and in the first game Saturday, Green was 4-6 with three stolen bases. Green is a great asset to the Rangers.

Have you ever thought about all of the hard work and time that is involved in putting this sports section together? Here's a little backround of one of the men behind the scenes of the Ranger sports staff, Len Anhold. Anhold has been with the Ranger sports staff for the past two years. He has quickly moved up to the assistant sports editor and if elected would like to become the sports editor for next year. His dedication is apparent as you can find him in the Ranger offices all day long and it is not uncharacteristic to find him there until 2 or 3 in the morning. To go along with being assistant sports editor Len is actively involved as the student representative of the athletic board, an advertising representative to the Ranger, and he runs the in terminal basketball and football leagues on campus. Among many of Anhold's tasks with th e Ranger sports section is he does the layout, covers and reports on sports, takes pictures, and compiles statistics for the scoreboard. The Ranger scoreboard is unique because a scoreboard is rarely found in other college newspaper. "I've been very fortunate to have this hands-on experience and to work with all the people on the Ranger staff', Anhold stated. Not only does Anhold work as the Ranger sports editor, hec an be found every Thursday night at the ever so popular Chain Reaction working as DJ.L.A. Other interests Anhold has are playing any kind of competitive sport, collecting baseball cards, and socializing at local Parkside hangouts. Anhold plans on graduating in May of 1993 in Communications, and become a Quality Conrtol specialist, which involves setting up and maintaing quality systems.

USA. lot April 23,1992 Movie Review THE RANGER NEWS, Page 151 Ten movies to relieve the tensions of finals By Chris Tishuk Feature Writer The end of the semester is coming soon and with it many students will have to endure some of the most stressful and difficult weeks of the year. Are you starting to feel burned ou t and as if you're not going to make it through that last final? Maybe one of the many types of stress reliever is what is needed. You could have a huge bash in your living room and invite the entire campus to live on beer and cheetos for the entire weekend. But if you d on't have the time to clean the beer out of the carpeting or you don't wantyour hands stained orange for the rest of the month, there are otheraltematives that will require less time and lot less cleanup. Maybe renting a movie spoofing college would give you that well deserved and needed break. Or maybe you don't want to think about college at all and you just want to forget about everything for a couple hours. Here are the top ten tension relieving comedies. 10) The Graduate- Dustin Hoffman in one of his first major roles as a young man who competes for the love a lady and finally her daughter after his college graduation. Dark comedy rings throughout during this movie that still ranks as one of the all-time funniest 9) Annie Hall- Woody Allen's look at relationships comes complete with some of the best lines of any of his movies. "I would never join a club that would have me as member." 8) Monty Python and the Holy Grail- This movie would make anyone forget what was happening around him as Monty Python goes back to the days of King Arthur and the Knights of theRoundTable. A cow flung from the top of the castle, a limbless sword fighter, and a wedding massacre all make this one of the best spoofs ever. 7) The Freshman- Matthew Broderick is about to begin college in New York when a ll his money and clothes are stolen. To raise money he meets up with "The Godfather" (Marlon Brando) who gives him a job and all he asks in return is friendship. A great spoof of the Godfather movies. The lizard scenes are hilarious. 6) Fast Times at Ridgemont High- OK, so it's a high school flick and not college. The premise remains the same- a bunch of kids who think mostly about sex. 5) Back to School- Rodney Dangerfield in one of his funniest roles as he changes an entire college campus, transforms the students, and buys his way through school. 4) Hollywood's eroticfilm festival- never mind, wrong movie list. 3) AnimalHouse- John Belushi goes to college in one of the best college movies ever. How many people can achieve an absolute 0.0 GPA. 2) Blazing Saddles- Mel Brooks classic story of the old west where men punch out horses, women punch out men, and the fastest gunman in the west can't hold his hand steady. And the best all time funniest stress-breaking movie is 1) Airplane- the first team-up of Leslie Nielson and Zucker, Zucker, and Abrams is also their best There are so many sight gags and jokes throughout the movie you almost have to watch it twice to catch many of them. Mrs. Cleaver talks in jive and a doctor who says not to call him Shirley. So if you're beginning to feel you're not going to make it and finals are taking over your life, ran down to the local video store and leave the rest world behind for a couple of hours. 00 Posions Available Inventory project for a large Kenosha manufacturer the week of May 18th. 20 - 30 of these positions will last through August.
